Testimony 18/09/05: A Heart Of Worship
Takkan pernah kubawa selain yang terbaik (I will never bring anything but the best)
Yang harum dan sejati (Pleasing and true)
Di hadapan tahtaMu (Before Your throne)
As the church sang, I stood there… speechless. Have I given God my best? My heart is filled with regrets. Deep in my heart, I knew I could have done better. I want to do good, but many times I did not simply of sheer laziness. Like Jesus said, “The spirit is willing, but the body is weak” (Matthew 26:41b).
Yesusku terimalah korban syukurku ini (My Jesus, accept this thanksgiving sacrifice)
Yang mengalir di hatiku (That flows from my heart)
Sebagai persembahanku (As an offering)
I saw myself covered with layers and layers of weaknesses, failures, sins and grief. Even though I am eager to live for Him, I really felt I haven’t done anything. I felt not worthy of singing this song to Him, let alone offering my live.
Then I saw the layers that covered me being lifted up. One by one the layer was opened. God looks pass through my weaknesses and failures. His eyes look beyond my sins and grief… He looks at my heart.
There my heart stood naked before the Lord: pure and holy, washed by the blood of the Lamb. A heart of worship. That’s what God is looking for. What an offering! God does not condemn me! Once again I am encouraged to live for Him and give my best.
1 Samuel 16:7b “The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
